Possible Pupal Cells?

[Daniel J. R.]

(dynastes tityus) I had noticed that they've been turning really yellow recently and have gotten much larger. Since then one of them has been making these visible pockets in the substrate over and over again.

I believe these pictures might be a female, and the one I believe is the male is still curled up in the substrate without a cell.

look normal. doesn't look like a pupal cell.

you will know when they get really yellow

Ah ok! I was gonna say that it would have been a bit early in season for pupating larva, yeah?
